MUTINY IN PERU.
How Officers and Men Got Into a Hand
to Hand Encounter.
New YORK. Nov.

New YORK. Nov. g.
Advices from Trajlto, Peru, says: On
Sept. %, mutiny broke out in the barracks
of Zepita batallion which is quartered here,
and two companies succeeded in escaping
after mortally wounding the captain of
the guard and killing the sentry.
1t is said the officers mutinied owing to
receiving too little ration money.
The movement was led by sergeant who
is known to have been a criminal of the
worst kind and murderer. It is said that
he has been implicated in the past wear in
about twenty murders, some of which were
committed in most barbarous manner. He
plotted the affair to get all prvates to prom
Use to join Then they were to let criminals
out of prison to sack the town
The mutineers proceeded ITO the barracks,
but the lieutenant on duty stood bravely at
his post and resisted the heavy fire with great
skill until he was reinforced by the sub-pre-
feet of police.
During the time some of the mutt
neers had also attacked the hospital. but they
were driven off The two defeated parties
subsequently joined and abandoned the town,
making road into the mountains
The movement was not a political one.
The authorities followed the mutineers out
through the country about three leagues
There a fight took place in which several
were killed. The sergeant, who was ring
leader was subsequently caught and brought
here to be shot
The firing in the square was heavy, but in
all only - or 20 were killed or wounded. The
ringleader, before being shot, confessed to
having committed fourteen murders and gave
the names of his victims. Up to the present
date, fourteen of the mutineers have been
shot

and was beginning to pack up his trunks for
another flight to-day when he was asked when
he last saw Mr.. Blaine.
II met him and his party several times
during the summer, and bade them good-by
IN Paris the day left for America. Mr..
Blaine was never in better health and spirits
than at present He looks well, he feels
well, and he is we'll He is ENJOYING every
day of his visit Whatever reports YOU NAV
see to the contrary you can put this down as
the absolute truth He will soon make tour
through Germany, and later 90 to the South
of France In the winter he proposes Jour
ney through Spain, into Africa and through
italy"
When will he return!"
He will not return before midsummer
He never had any intention Of doing other
wise"
q" DO you expect to see him make another
race for the Presidency"
"A good deal of talk has been made about
this, as is natural. 1t is difficult to make
people understand and believe that man who
has once come near the Presidency is not
filled to overilowing with the desire for that
great place. If say anything about this in
connection with Mr.. Blaine, it is better to
tell YOU the exact truth eff the matter. Mr..
Blaine does not desire another nomination.
He has had his share of Presidential battles
and shrinks from going through another
where he viii be candidate. am entirely
sure he would much prefer taking part in the
next campaign in advocacy of the election Of
some other leading republican. He does not
contest in the convention. In this think he
is wise If the Republican party and the ma
jority of the American people desire Mr..
Blaine for President il must be accomplished
by a spontaneous moevmeut of the party,
making his selection one of practical unan-
unity, and one which would be ratified by the
people at the polls. am not here speaking
for Mr. Blaine or by his direction, but am
simply telling you his feelings, and what |
have just told YOU about the action of the
party and the people is only the expression
of my own sentiment upon the subject
Whether Mr. Blaine desires or not To under
take the burdens of another canvass for the
Presidential Office, the deep underlying feel
ing with the muSsaS of the party is what in
the end will control the matter"

IRISH HOME RULE.
mission Express their Views on the
Question.

PIrrsBuRG, Pa, Nov. 3,
Members of the British arbitration com
mittee, visiting Andrew Carnegie, are ex-
pressing opinions without reserve upon irish
home rule NJ. b. Proband, member of Par
Lament for Glasgow said
Home rule for Ireland means much more
than literally appears on the surface. 1t
means the same thing for the United King
dom 1t means no separate government for
Ireland and no separation from the govern
ment of Great Britain. only local self rule.
With home rule accomplished, the first de-
cisive step in national reform will have been
made"
Hon John Inglis said; 1T will come
without resorting to arms, without the neces-
sity of popular uprising or by any overt
acts 1t will merely be a peaceful triumph
of democracy"
Sir John Swinburne and John Wilson of
Durham. Messrs. Cremor Ferguson and Ca
leb Wright members of the party. expressed
the same opinion.

A FIENDISH ATTEMPT
To BLOW Up Chief Justice Waite
With an Internal Machine.
As Luck Would Have il, the Plot was
FOiled.


An attempt was made this evening TO blow
up Chief Justice Waite with an internal ma
chine delivered 10 him at $50 by special post
office mail messenger boy Joseph F. Hickey,
1t was an ordinary white box of the kind in
which valentines are sent. II had printed on
one end Beauties of Tenny SON" On the
cover it was addressed ITO Hon. Chief JUS
tice Waite, No. l4l5, | street, n. W. Near
the bottom were the words important pa
pers," underscored
Tee thing enclosed was glass tube ten
inches long of the diameter of lead pencil.
The tube contained jet black liquid. About
one and half inches from the end was a
percussion cap, separating the fluid from lit
tie more than an inch of coarse powder, At
the other end of the powder was another per-
cussion cap. To this was attached a wire
which was apparently intended TO explode
the tube. The wire was joined to small
rubber band fastened 10 one side of the box,
and another wire ran from the rubber TO
hook and eye held in place by piece of pa
per pasted over it. If the machine was re-
ally what it seemed, raising the lid would
have exploded it,
Before it reached the Justices house the
box was stamped on one side by post
office employee The force by which the
blow was struck caused the wire to slip
through the .'hook and eye" thus severng
the necessary connection.

COLLEGE COMPOSITES.
What is Shown Concerning them by
Professor Stoddard i'll the November
Century.

The November issue of the Century con
ties" illustrated by composites of various
college classes, among them the class of 81
at Bowdoin, the members of which are for
the most part natives of Maine. The bloom
ing Vassar young ladies (the charming faces
of thirty-six of them are shown in this photo
graph present in the aggregate very sensi-
BILE looking young lady with an every day
kind of an expression which at once gives the
lie to the newspaper canards about the stony
character of her sponge cakes and the deadly
results of her mince pies upon the reckless
epicures who essay to test them. This is a
somewhat Puritan face GA of her comes
from New England 1t is the face of II young
lady who could discourse with facility upon
Berkeley, Descartcs, or Kant at the break
fast table, without spillng the tea or once
losing sight of this mundane sphere, In fact
she is intellectual without being spritucllc;
tasty without being aesthetic affcc-
tionate hut not gushing; able to view
the heavens without losing sight of the earth,
and to construct a dinner with the same ease
with which she would demonstrate a geo
metric proposition. Having seen this com
posite of the collective Vassar girl, we con
fcss our entire change of opinion concerning
her If we have written lightly of her culinary
abilities we implore her forgiveness, and We
earnestly advise the composite Bowdon young
man to cultivate her acquaintance. The
Harvard composite girl looks phiosophic but
not beautiful. The Wellesley girl looks
dreamy but good, The Smith College girl is
practical and energetic, and the Mount Hol-
yoke girl religious and thoughtful The
Wells College girl is the most dashing but
the Wellesley girl is the best looking
Among the boys a great deal of variance is
shown. The Bowdoin man is reflective and
conservative the Sheffield scientific man en-
ergetic and full of business. The Harvard
man is outspoken, aggressive, and a good
athlete. The Williams man is young, good
looking and thoughtful The Amherst man
man has dreamy expression, but the face is
good one. The twenty-five Doctors of
Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, have
high forehead and decidedly psychology
cal cast of countenance. The co-composites
of the Amherst, Bowdoin, Cornell, Harvard,
Johns Hopkins, Sheffield Scientific, and
Williams composites gives the typical Amer
lean college student, and the result is pleasing.
1t shows bright. fearless, energetic young
man, with high forehead, open counte-
nance, firm mouth and good physique.
Whatever may be thought of the value of
Professor Stoddard's researches in composite
photography when viewed from purely sci
entifc standpoint, his article on the subject
in this months Century is certainly an inter.
esting one. and presents an excellent chance
for the study of character.
